Oh the places you will go

With today being the second day of spring, my second day of spring break, and having some snow on the ground, I am dreaming of travel! There is nothing I love more than travel (when the funds will allow).

For winter break, I went down to Argentina (aka their summer during our winter) and just want to keep the travel bug going!! Literally, I check flights to St. Croix DAILY, well, a few times daily.....

So here are some of my favorite plane outfits!! It's always so hard finding an outfit for the airplane. You never know who you may see or meet in an airport! My best friend did her own little study to show that looking your best in the airport is a good thing! Wearing a tight Lilly, someone asks her to get a drink before the flight. In a casual outfit, nothing. I tend to be more on the casual side, but at least it's better than sweatpants!

1) I love colored denim!! Pair it with a navy blazer and a navy bag to slowly get out of the black funk of winter (all of my winter clothes are black...). And for the daring, pair it with wedges for a super sleek look, and now you can save room in your bag by wearing the wedges!

2) I could live everyday in my white Polo button down, literally. I have so many outfits for it and bring it everywhere I go. It is year round and can be transformed into a spring look tucked into a casual high waited skirt of any color! I love it with the navy for right now! And let's talk about how much I LOVE those shoes! Bows, patent leather, multiple colors? I will be purchasing every pair of these for the season!

3) This is my go to everything outfit, especially on the plane. I live in straight leg jeans and a v-neck cable knit sweater. Throw a polo pop underneath if you need to take it off at your destination (aka if you're going somewhere warm). Pair it all with a pair of flats and a fun bag and you're ready to go anywhere!!

Have a safe, warm, happy, & healthy Spring travels!

Spring Obsessions

Over the weekend, Philadelphia had a wonderful taste of the spring weather to come!! Except now I am sitting in my apartment bundled in my favorite Stone Harbor rugby shirt procrastinating writing a paper on child psychopathology.

Is Spring too much to ask for?! Why can't it be throw on my favorite J Crew shorts, button down, Sperry's, and hat weather? Or Lilly and wedges weather? And is it too much to ask for for bikini, beach blanket, and summer nights weather?

So here's to Spring, warmer weather, Lilly dresses, jean shorts, wedges, bright colors and the sun!

Let's talk about how much I love Ray-Bans but am afraid of purchasing a pair and have them end up like the rest of my sunglasses (at the bottom of my purse scratched). And those wedges are from Target! I just bought them in nude and cannot wait to go between those and some Tory sandals. And you can't go wrong with some Vineyard Vines and C. Wonder accessories. C. Wonder could be one of my new favorite stores since I went to their opening in King of Prussia!! 

I can honestly say that my closet is a bit lacking this year (especially now that I will be going on co-op soon and need a constant supply of CHOP appropriate clothes). It's a good thing there is a shopping trip planned for the future and the promise of Spring!

Ten Minute Morning

So, I woke up to one of those rainy, I just don't want to get out of bed days. And then I didn't get out of bed until the very last moment and had to rush to get ready for my day full of classes and meetings and a lunch date. This is usually the time when I grab the "go to"outfit, which are a little too casual for meetings and lunch. So, here are some ideas of some basic outfits you can throw on and look polished all day!

1. I am currently wearing black skinny jeans, nude flats, a chambray shirt, a Lilly infinity scarf, my Michele watch and monogrammed necklace! Even though I had MAYBE fifteen minutes to get ready today, I feel confident and polished in the casual look. And for the rain, throw on some Hunter rain boots to combat the dreary day!

Black Jeans | Tory Flats

Necklace | Michele Watch

2. This is more of a formal fall look. Even though spring is fast approaching, I still love to throw on a cozy plaid shirt and be done. Dress it up by tucking in the shirt with a brown belt, pearls, dark skinny jeans and brown boots for a put together look that looks like you spend a lot of time thinking about! Maybe this will be my tomorrow look :)

Shirt | Pearls

Jeans | Belt

Bracelet | Boots

What to Wear: Philanthropy

I don't see it as a coincidence that I am a Delta Zeta; it was more of fate (not to sound corny, anyone in a sorority knows that they are where they belong). But, our philanthropy is supporting children with speech and hearing impairments. Fun fact: I have been diagnosed with a hearing impairment since age two. So, I really take Delta Zeta's philanthropy to heart.

Today, we are having an event with Build-a-Bear where my sisters and I are making bears and adding plush hearing aids to them. I know that when I was advised to get a hearing aid in elementary school I was freaked out and said no!! It's important for kids to know that it's not a huge deal and that they deserve the same opportunities as everyone else!

Dressing for events like this sounds easy, just throw on letters and go! But, pictures will be taken (maybe you'll be seen in next years recruitment video) and you will want to look your best, even in letters.

I always start with dark denim and either flats or boots, depending on the weather. Tory Burch and Steve Madden are some of my favorite shoe options! My favorite letters are on American Apparel v-neck shirts, one size too big for the comfort level. Feeling too casual in just a t-shirt (or maybe it's a little chilly), throw on a blazer, a cross body bag, and a scarf and look polished and perfect for any philanthropy event!!

What's in my bag: Classroom Edition

These types of posts always seem to be my favorite! (I'm really nosy and love to know what other people keep in their bag). So I thought I would put together what I commonly carry in my tote for a day of classes! Today I happen to be in class and in meetings from ten in the morning until seven tonight. For days like this, I like to carry around all the necessities for any "OMG" moments!

Longchamp: I always carry around either my graphite or bilberry Longchamp large tote. It is large enough to hold everything I need throughout the day and looks so chic. And on the days I need a little more room or support, I carry around Lilly Pulitzer's original tote in the Delta Zeta sorority print!

Macbook Pro: Literally, I never leave my apartment without my computer. I take all my notes and make so many to-do lists throughout the day that I need to have this constantly on my body (with the charger as well).

Laura Mercier Lipgloss: I received this nude gloss as a gift over the holidays and always have it with me for some quick fix beauty. I don't use lipgloss or lipstick every single day, but sometimes you need a bit more shine than the eos gives. It's the perfect amount of glamour.

Brita Water Bottle: When I went to Argentina in September, I invested in a Brita Water Bottle so I would always be drinking clean water (I did NOT want food poisoning). This has kept me hydrated throughout the day and I can refill at any hydration station on campus!

Tory Burch Wallet: This is one of my favorites and is so easy to fit everything in and take out for a quick coffee down the street instead of bringing the whole tote!

Eos: I ALWAYS have chap stick and moisturizer with me, especially in the winter. I used to be obsessed with burt's bees, but have recently switched to eos and have fallen in love with all the different flavors.

Tissues: You never know when you're going to need something better than a napkin or paper towel, especially this cold winter.

Pencils, Sharpies, Pens: Some classes do not allow you to use technology to take notes, so I always keep a supply of pencils, sharpies, pens and highlighters on me just in case!

Lilly Agenda: This is a necessity, really. I have so many to-do lists and plans penciled in my Lilly agenda; I could not live without this one. You will realize how important this is for life, I promise this is worth the money.

iPhone: I have to throw my iPhone on here (with my Tory Burch case). I would be lying if I said I couldn't live without my iPhone; it's an addiction.
